President Flannery raped for silence, and
Mr.. j. r. Duckworth, in behalf of the
building committee, transferred the build

and suitable words.
Mr.. Flannery, for the Exchange, made a
witty response, acknowledging the recep-

hoped the new dress the building now wore,
would be fresh for years to come, all of
which was greeted with hearty applause

The Misconduct of One of Sherman's
Soldiers Reported After IS Years.

Mr.. f. G. duBignon returned yesterday
from the North, where he has spent the last
six weeks in visiting various places of re-
Sort Mr.. duBignon was present at the
meeting of the bar at Saratoga, where Gen.
Sherman made speech, in which he said
that while he was glad to meet the
members of the bar and glad to be
their guest he hoped that when they
returned home and began again to practice
their profession they would so regulate their
fees that they would leave a little money i'll
the pockets of their clients SO that they
might visit Saratoga now and then. Mr..
duBignon followed Gen. Sherman and re-
piled to the toast. The Young Bar of
America He introduced his response by
saying that he was glad that he
had met Gen. Sherman; that he had
been waiting for twenty-five years
to meet the General to report to him
the misconduct of one of his soldiers
while marching through Georgia. Mr.
duBignon said that he had a pair of goats
at that time and one of the soldiers made an
assault upon them He warned the soldier
that if he dared to injure one of those goats
he would report the case to Gen. Sherman,
but needless of the warning the soldier per-
sisted in the attack and soon left Mr.. duBig-
non goatless. He had waited long, long
time for an opportunity to report the case
and he was glad that at last it had arrived.
After the General had promised to receive
the report officially Mr.. duBignon began his
response to the toast.

Which He Will Find in Brief State
ment Which Follows This Communi-
cation.
Editor Morning Ne,os: Will you please
inform me and other parties interested by
what right streets and lanes between Price
and East Broad streets, and south of Ander-
son street, are fenced ins As / understand
it the parties doing the fencing pretend to
act under the authority of Mr.. Henry Blum,
who himself .pretends to represent
the Catholic Church. On deeper in
quiry | find quite a number of lots
in this plat sold by the plat
which the city claims to have accepted as
it stood" / further find that these street.
ways have been opened BY dedication. Now
if they are legally open by dedication the
Catholic Church certainly does not wish to do
an illegal act, by attempting to close them;
and Mr.. Blum and his assistants in obstruct-
ing the streetways cannot be truly repre-
senting any correct opinions concerning the
legal rights and desires of the parties at in
terest. have been informed that "Mr.
Blum is willing to open these streets to-mor
row" if he is paid for them by the city. It
would be interesting to the taxpayers to
know upon what legal basis Mr. Blum puts
this claim for compensation; and if no legal
basis exists, then by what cajolery our
public officials are led to permit this fla
grant obstruction OF public highways
As | take it, our Mayor and other officials
are paid pretty good salaries to execute the
laws, and there are certain laws concerning
the obstruction of the public streetways. If
these streetways are public by dedication,
then Mr.. Blun's riches, if he acts as an indi-
vidual, should not prevent the enforcement
of the laws, and if Mr.. Blum acts as a
representative or pretended representative
of any church, and his acts are illegal,
then such church should put better repre-
sentative ideas in his head and undo pub
lie wrong.
As good many poor people are being
trampled ON by the present state of affairs,
1 bring their unfortunate position to the
public notice in the hope that their sorrows
may excite the sympathies of all right
minded persons, and thus bring public opin-
ion to bear in favor of relieving their dis
tresses-distresses growing out of official
negligence. Respectfully, yours,
l.. A. FALIIGANT

Mr.. John Carswell, who for months has
filled a position in the Central railroad
Office at Augusta, has changed his base to
Savannah, and has been promoted to fill
the position of first assistant of the general
freight and passenger department.
Quite heated railroad meeting was held
at Camden, S. c.. on Friday the subject be-
ing the conference over the action of the
County Commissioners in regard to the
bonds subscribed the Charleston, Cincinnati
and Chicago Railroad or whether it was adj
visabie to issue the bonds now, and place
them on deposit with the Boston Safe and
Deposit Company, subject to the order of
the County Commissioners, SO that the rail-
road company could effect an advantageous
loan, for the purpose of constructing the
road. After sharp discussion the follow
ing resolution was passed: THAT this meet

County Commissioners of Kershaw county
in refusing to allow to pass from their hands
the bonds issued as a subscription to the

Since the first dirt was broke in Columbus
up to the present time, nearly fifteen months
have been consumed in building it. The
contractors were old and experienced men,"
says the Griffin San, land in their duty
have been faithful and dibgent, and it
is safe to say that no better road has
ever been built in Georgia. The Mid
land runs through one Of the finest
sections in the State, and along the
line of road is some of the finest scenery in
Georgia. The road for several miles runs
along the base Of the Pine mountains, re-

McDonough and Columbus are four iron
bridges and one tunnel, while a small part of
the road cost as high as SAC, 900 per mile
The iron bridge across Flint river is the
largest on the road, and is pronounced by
experts to be very fine piece of work. In
the way of equipments, the road stands on
equal footing with any in the State, the
engines and coaches being of the latest i'm
proved style and pattern. From Columbus
to McDonough the distance is ninety weight

STRUCK WITH \ ROCK.
4 Negroes Desperate Assault on q
Steamboat Mate

Steamboat Mate.
Frank Miranda, first mate of tho steamer
st. Nicholas was carried to St Joscph's In
Urinary, yesterday morning, with bad
cash in his head, the effect of a seven-pound
rock, thrown by negro named John VIII
liams The trouble seems to ante-date yes
teriavs elimination of the feud, if there be
one, and Williams story is not very straight.
Williams, who is "A stout, surly-looking ne
gro, of medium build, claims that he came
from Fernandina a few weeks ago on the
steamer St. Nicholas, agreeing to work his
passage and to help unload when he reached
the city. This latter part he shirked, and
he left the wharf suddenly when the boat
arrived, but he neglected. to get a bundle OF
clothing left on the vessel at the time, and
the officers afterward refused to deliver it
to him, as he says, unless he fulfilled his
original contract This he refused very inn
pudently to do and the officers ordered him
off the boat. Several times he went down
to the wharf and always was impudent
and surly.
Yesterday he went down, as he now
says, to see if the Katie had come
in. He, wandered on the, st. Mich
olas and as soon as Miranda saw him
he ordered him off No one saw
what followed, but the negro says he left at
once, but Miranda followed him and as he
was afraid the officer would shoot, he
seized stone as soon as he reached the
wharf and threw it at Miranda, who was
close to him. The rock struck the officer in
the back of the head, and he instantly fell
Williams then rushed off and escaped.
The PROSTATE form of Miranda was soon
seen by Capt Bravo, of the David Clark,
and he picked it up and carried it aboard
his vessel. He soon saw what dangerous
wound had been inflicted, and had the mate
removed to the infirmary. The Captain
then came up town and had warrant is
sued for Williams, and he was caught near
the market and marched up to Jail, on a
charge of assault with intent to commit
murder. Miranda was in a precarious
condition last night, and it was impossible
to tell what the result would be. DIR.
White, the physician at the hospital, said
he was badly injured but that he could not
then say to what extent. The rock was
brought up town last night and weighed. 1t
turned the scales at exactly seven pounds.
